Romance Paranormal

Naomi West has to go undercover. That's ok; she's used to it and good at it in her role as an agent of the Holy Order. She often has to ferret out witches or assorted bad-guys going against the Church. However, this time, Naomi has to go undercover in a spa. That means no piercings, no regular clothes...no gun. Long ago, she was forced away from the superficial life the spa represents, so being undercover there forces her to confront her own demons in her past as well as any negative forces that might be right in front of her. From the first second she enters Timeless, Naomi is caught up in a crazy web of deceit and betrayal, and she's not sure who or what to believe. She knows the owner, Phinneas Clarke, is super-sexy, but she also knows he's got more secrets than he's revealing. Interestingly enough, he thinks the same about her. Naomi has to discover the roots of prejudice, learn to see life from a different lens, and try to keep everyone from getting killed, all in a fancy spa. A fantastic book, the characters are interestingly detailed and the plot is satisfyingly intricate.

SUMMARY

Naomi West was plucked from one prison and placed undercover in another: the gilded cage that is Timeless, New Seattle's premier spa and resort, where owner Phinneas Clarke—the most seductive man Naomi has ever met—may be hiding a killer. She's an agent of the Holy Order, trained to hunt the guilty and render justice. But while she's tracking down a rogue agent on a killing spree, Phin is determined to uncover her most damning—and dangerous—secrets. Whatever the cost.
